Four sources of theology - Scripture, Tradition, Reason, Experience
Original sin - The first sinful acts committed by Adam and Eve /
sinful condition intrinsic to human nature that results in ignorance, suffering,
death, and concupiscence.
Thomas Aquinas differentiates theology from the philosophical study of God and
things related to God - Theology is a science of Scripture, believing in God's self-
revelation in Scripture as a source of knowledge of God
Scripture is thoroughly and deliberately traditional - It is handed down in a
community of believers, and it is the result of earlier oral and written traditions
passed down over time
Worlds considered when interpreting text - Behind, of, in front (not around)
Number of Catholic OT books - 46
Pentateuch - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy
